Abstract
(-)-hydroxyeicosa-5(Z),8(Z),11(Z),14(Z)-tetraenoic acid methyl ester ( 2) was synthesized in eight steps starting from enantiomerically pure (Ri-glyceraldehyde acetonide. The 10(R)-(+)-enantiomer was prepared us ing an identical method except that the starting material was (S)-glyc eraldehyde acetonide. By use of these authentic standards, it was poss ible to confirm that arachidonic acid was converted to a mixture of (- )-hydroxyeicosa-5(Z),8(Z),11(Z),14(Z)-tetraenoic acid (1) and the 10(R )-(+)-enantiomer by phenobarbital-induced rat Liver microsomes.
